That bugs me also especially truckers and transit drivers they know enough to flash their lights in thanks but they don't.

I always honk in this situation. It's one of my top pet peeves.flyingnurse wrote: ↑ I've said this before but people who are turning left but are not in the center of the left lane but rather more to the right lane. This causes me difficulty if I am turning left in the opposite direction as my field of vision is reduced.
I also hate being tailed when I am going the speed limit or even when I am above the speed limit! (Not referring to the left lane of a highway)

Red traffic lights because during traffic one red traffic light is amplified. For example, if there are 10 cars in front of me that's 11 red lights in front of me.
When the first red light turns green, I have to wait for the 10 people before me to start their vehicles. By the time I get to the light, it might be red again.

Markham drivers:
- Stay in the left turn lane for the entire duration, then for some reason decide to at the last second decide they can't wait and take a right into the next lane, thus resulting in my attempt at a left from the opposite side a failure because of their stupidity.
- Blocking the entire intersection because they couldn't wait the extra 90 seconds for the next green, thus not allowing anyone to go by for a good 20 seconds.
- Lack of knowledge on how a roundabout works, I've seen a countless amount of fools go the OPPOSITE WAY!
- Four lane U-turns, stuck in the right turn only? No problem I'll just make a U-turn past the three other lanes of traffic so I can go the other way.

People who get advanced left turn green light faster by standing 2 cars behind the intersection to trigger the sensor.
There should be a law against this.

Better that than in Ottawa where 99% of the turn lights are automatically advance green because people are too stupid to turn safely.WinterSleep wrote: ↑ People who get advanced left turn green light faster by standing 2 cars behind the intersection to trigger the sensor.

Biggest beef is slow slow drivers. Those people on the highway driving 50 and 60 when it's all clear. These are the people causing traffic for no reason.

No, never and I went through this thread and not guilty on all other countsWinterSleep wrote: ↑ Let me guess. You also tend to cut in grocery lines.
nobody's perfect I guess. Not waiting for the entire line of oncoming traffic if I don't have to. If there were three cars in left turn queue, then the advance green would light. Don't see much of a difference

I personally don't mind if people do this, however, I notice in Vancouver, it doesn't really work. I seen people stop 2 car lengths away and it doesn't trigger the turn signal. I think you have to trip the sensor in the first stall first, or they count how many cars are on the turning lane. This would make sense as I see a lot of these turn signals stay green just enough for almost all of the cars to turn.WinterSleep wrote: ↑ People who get advanced left turn green light faster by standing 2 cars behind the intersection to trigger the sensor.
